You can make the Nice Cream ahead of time to save a few steps, and to make sure it is frozen enough. Making nice cream is so easy, and it takes as little or as many ingredients as you want. You could do just frozen bananas, or you can add some peanut butter, cinnamon, cacao powder… the possibilities are endless!

Just add to a high speed blender or food processor and blend together until smooth. Then place back in the freezer to solidify. That’s it! It’s perfect to enjoy on its own, or in these waffle sandwiches.

The waffles are just as easy to make, and require a few ingredients. You can use chocolate protein powder, or sub with cacao powder if you’d like. The result is a chocolate-y, crispy waffle that you are going to love!

I used chickpea flour to add more protein to the waffles, but you could use regular flour if you prefer.

Once your waffles are ready, just make some sandwiches with the nice cream and get ready for an amazing breakfast or snack!

Let’s get started!
